This morning, we joined the @LdnOntChamber to highlight how Ontario has navigated U.S. trade pressures with resilience and resolve. In the face of global uncertainty, our government has met the moment with decisive action by advancing internal free trade, attracting record levels of foreign direct investment, and driving growth across critical sectors. As we look ahead, we will remain relentless in protecting Ontario’s workers and strengthening the province’s long-term competitiveness.

The International Test Pilots School (@ITPSCanada) in London is home to the world’s largest independent program in experimental flight testing.
